Maryland Survey Results Non-Prescription Opioids vs Heroin

The Maryland Public Opinion Survey tracks changes in patterns of use, attitudes, and source of opioid misuse among people in Maryland who admit to using prescription and non-prescription opioids.

The survey found that the older age group (50-64) almost completely misused non-prescription opioids for pain management, while the younger group (18-25) is misusing mainly to get high, experiment, and manage pain. Click here to view the full results of the survey.
